__NOTOC__

The '''Adziogol Lighthouse'''<ref>{{cite book |last1=Avery |first1=Derek |title=Victorian and Edwardian Architecture |date=2003 |publisher=Chaucer |location=London |page=136}}</ref> ({{langx|uk|Аджигольський маяк}}), also known as '''Stanislav–Adzhyhol Lighthouse''' or '''Stanislav Range Rear light''', is one of two vertical lattice [[Hyperboloid structure|hyperboloid structure]]s of steel bars, serving as active [[Lighthouse|lighthouse]]s in Dnieper Estuary, Ukraine. It is located about {{convert|30|km|abbr=on}} west of the city of Kherson. At a height of {{convert|211|ft}}, it is the sixteenth-tallest "traditional lighthouse" in the world<ref>{{cite rowlett|tallest}}</ref> as well as the tallest in Ukraine.

[[File:Adziogol hyperboloid Lighthouse by Vladimir Shukhov 1911.jpg|thumb|left|120px|Adziogol Lighthouse in 1911]]
It is located on a concrete pier on a tiny islet in the combined Dnieper-Bug Estuary, which extends eastward into the Dnieper Estuary, a part of the Dnieper River delta, about {{convert|2.5|km|abbr=on}} north of the village of Rybalche (Skadovsk Raion) and south of the Cape of Adzhyhol, for which it is named. Together with the [[Engineering:Stanislav Range Front Light|Stanislav Range Front Light]] (Small Adzhyhol Lighthouse), it serves as a range light, guiding ships entering the Dnieper River or the Southern Buh River within the vast Dnieper-Bug Estuary.

==Details==
The lighthouse was designed in 1910<ref>{{Cite web|title=Berechnung eines Leuchtturms mit bis zu 68 m lichter Höhe nach dem System des Ingenieurs V. G.

The one-story keeper's house sits inside the base of the tower.

The site of the tower is accessible only by boat. The site is open to the public but the tower is closed.

On 22 July 2022, the lighthouse was damaged by a Russian missile attack, 3 rockets hit the lighthouse.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Мешканці Херсонщини повідомляють, що росіяни влучили ракетами в найвищий маяк України |url=https://www.unian.ua/war/herson-rosiyani-vluchili-raketami-v-adzhigolskiy-mayak-nayvishchiy-mayak-ukrajini-novini-vtorgnennya-rosiji-v-ukrajinu-11913477.html |access-date=2023-04-28 |website=unian.ua |language=uk}}</ref>
